How to Create a Glam Holiday Updo Hair Style in Just 30 Seconds
Updo Hairstyles, it IS that time again, when you may be just a week or two or days even from your first holiday party. Unfortunately this year the recession has hit everyone, and not everyone has the luxury of spending half a day at the stylist anymore, not even near the holiday crunch. So if you are wondering what to do with your hair this holiday season, and still look glam and fabulous, go for the 30 second updo. Not only is it super sexy and super chic, but it really does only take 30 seconds, and the end result is a no muss no fuss chic pulled together look.
And the best part? You don’t even have to wash your hair if you don’t want to. In fact, second day hair will actually make this one even easier. If you are stuck with some wallet crunching this holiday season, and have *just enough* hair to clip back, follow these simple steps to a super simple updo that will have heads turning all night long.
Step 1 – Pull your hair back into a ponytail.
Step 2 – Twist the ponytail like a rope until the pony starts to buckle and loop upwards, but not too tight.
Step 3 – Use a clip or barrette and clip the loop in place at the back of your head. Try placing the clip towards the top of the loop so that the back looks almost like a chignon.
Step 4 – Fan the ends of your pony upward and place on top of your head. If your hair is super long, you can pin them at the top of your head if you want. If your hair is longer, you can curl the ends with an iron and place them with pins on top of your head. This may take longer than the 30 second updo, but it is a far cry from styling your hair before you go out.
Tips and Tricks:
The greasier the better with this look, so go a day or two unwashed when you try this, the chignon will hold much nicer. Your updo will hold longer as well, and if you want some nice morning after waves, sleep with your clip on for a casual wavy look the next morning.
If you are using this for a night out, a razor sharp side part will create just a smidge more elegance.

KRISTEN STEWART TWILIGHT HAIRSTYLE
Kristen Stewart is a versatile actress who has been cast in various roles. The most well-known or prominent role, however, has been her portrayal of Bella Swan in the Twilight Saga. If you want to get a hairstyle similar to the one Stewart sports in the Twilight, then you should remember to keep it simple. Stewart’s hair is lightly layered, curled, and is not dressed up with a myriad of highlights. Furthermore, her hairstyle is perfect for the average teen as it is flattering and very easy to maintain.
To get hair like Kristen Stewart’s, you must simply follow these steps:
1. You must consider your hair’s length and texture. Your hair should be a medium to long length. If your texture is naturally straight, you will want to blow your hair dry and use a chunky curling iron. If your hair is naturally curly, you may simply choose to let it hair dry.
3. After your hair is dry, you should apply a little hair product (gel or wax) to keep the front sections of your hair pushed back. If you have a lot of hair, you may want to use bobby pins to help accomplish this.

2. As soon as you have these things figured out, book a consultation or trial run. Pay attention to the mood of this first meeting. A consultation is not just about hair but getting comfortable with each other. If you don't seem to be getting the attention to details you desire or the stylist is not accommodating move on. Also look around the salon, is it clean? Is it updated? First impressions matter.
3. Arm yourself with what the design world calls "tear sheets" Gather as many hairstyles as you can find. Look in hairstyling magazines as well as bridal magazines and tear out the pages. On the web, surf wedding photographer sites to see real brides and copy images into a word document to print. Put these in a folder and keep them with your bridal planner to bring to the trial run.
4. If you arrange your first receiver to a shakedown cruise wear to bring it with you. Sometimes your "dream" of wearing your hair will not be used in conjunction with the first receiver. Trials will help you decide what to look for the first receiver, together with the onset of wear you like, or what is the best with your hair has been cherished wearing or decoration matches the first receiver. If you have arranged for some option to bring them and try them all. This is what a trial run is for.
5. Bring a friend or relative you trust for their honest opinion. Make sure to have a camera and take many views of the winning design. A trial is not usually wedding day ready hair. It is a guide and a test. It is also as much for the stylist as it is for you. She needs to get used to your hair and will know what is possible or what she is capable of.
6. Once all is said and done and you are happy, make sure to book your date. If your date is a while off like 6months or more, call the salon at least a couple of months before the wedding to make sure your appointment is secured. Also confirm that your stylist is still there and is on the books as well. If something changes, at least you will have your photos for the wedding morning. Just make sure to get them printed!
